1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! . s1 Z3 A; Y9 |; q& L$ }- B$ i

2) Fish has omega-3 fatty acids, and are known to be beneficial to us in various ways. The problem is that our body does not make omega-3 fatty acids, and we need to consume it from fish.! O2 S2 S' [* P5 ]* q
* \6 O/ j: l( _' {& r/ V
Many research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs. It is currently being sold at supermarkets here. As a result, consumers can obtain it from a non-fish source. More new products with omega-3 fatty acids are expected in the near future.作者: singgeihot 時間: 2005-6-7 09:08 AM
However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. * N8 x2 Q- m- W$ U, a: A" d6 z* f. y6 j3 z- W, v
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 7 p7 p% ]( _0 u# K) y6 `* p! @8 s3 k2 [
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you. 7 A$ A# `% @) B3 m* ~+ D/ X% t& V9 X: |; \
